RE: Float Your Intelligence Boat

in Reflections10 days ago

I'm referring to the visceral distrust of AI. I don't personally think it has merit. That animal part of us has a distrust of cleverness.

I think what you are hoping is that higher intelligence would come with higher conscientiousness. I think these are separate things. Conscientiousness can be inculturated so that intelligence is not necessary. I think your daughter is the perfect example. She is conscientious about cleaning up after yourself and not calling people idiots. I'm sure she's a bright young mind, but she didn't need 600 IQ to understand that certain things aren't right.

Sort:  

I think you have misunderstood the problem. It isn't about conscientiousness alone, because problems still have to be solved in a complex and complicated system. No matter how conscientious my daughter is, she isn't going to create clean energy with it, is she? At a high enough intelligence, clean energy could be created, and used wisely.
